Warranty: 2 years residential use.
Q2: How often do I need to purge this unit? A2: The clear chamber shows debris build-up. Purging involves opening the valve and discharging roughly 15 litres (≈4 gallons) of water. Frequency depends on debris load but is far less than typical main filter maintenance.
Q1: Will this unit replace my main pool filter? A1: No. This device is a pre-filter that removes heavier debris before your main filter; your cartridge, sand or D.E. filter is still required for full water clarification.

- No filter media or moving parts to replace—minimal maintenance required.
- Built with 2″ (50 mm) quick-fit unions for straightforward integration into pool plumbing.
- Clear polycarbonate sediment chamber allows visible monitoring of debris build-up.

Description
The MultiCyclone 16 Pre-Filter from Waterco/Pentair simplifies your pool filtration system while increasing efficiency. Installed upstream of your main filter, it uses centrifugal hydro-cyclone technology to separate heavier sediments and debris before they reach the filter. There are no cartridges or media to replace and no moving components to wear out—just reliable performance and easy upkeep. The visible collection chamber makes it simple to know when purging is needed and the standard 2″ quick unions allow a clean retrofit in both new and existing systems. The result: less frequent maintenance, lower water use, and longer filter life.
Pro Tip
Install the MultiCyclone 16 directly after your pump, ahead of your sand or cartridge filter, and pair it with a multi-port or check-valve for easier seasonal service. Combine with a leaf trap if your pool collects heavy debris.
